Magnolia Meadows

My mother is in memory care at Magnolia Meadows. It was better than I was expecting it to be. It's very clean and a nice size. There aren't too many residents, but more than a handful. The director is very forward about everything. The apartment is an adequate size for a queen-size bed, a reclining chair, and some other items and it also has its own private half bathroom. The staff members are not overly friendly, but that might just be because we don't know them yet. They provide three meals a day, they provide her with transportation when she needs to go places, and they do her laundry. They have movies at night and cards and things like that once in a while. They have a personal chef who's there to make three meals a day and he's there five days a week, so he provides the meals right away right there homemade. He makes extra meals so that they can heat them on the weekends when he is not there. It's a very homey feeling dining room.

My stepdad is at Magnolia Meadows and they just seem very helpful and very open to wanting to take care of people there. The place he was at previously said they could not keep him there, but in this place, they said they will keep him there. The memory care place is just pleasant and the people I've met there are very pleasant too. They try to get the residents active through games or bingo or different things. Cleanliness seems fine. They have someone that comes in and does their hair, but I don't think they have an actual salon. I believe that they're somewhat short-staffed, but I haven't noticed any issues.
